Claude Chatbot Now Powered by Brave for Web Searches
Earlier this week, Anthropic introduced a web search feature to its AI chatbot, Claude, aligning it with competitors in the market. Initially, it was uncertain which search index was behind this new functionality, with speculation that Anthropic might have created its own. However, clues point towards Brave Search, developed by the browser company Brave, being the source.
Software engineer Antonio Zugaldia noticed on Friday that Anthropic included "Brave Search" in its documentation's "subprocessor list," which details partners handling Claude's data. Additionally, British programmer Simon Willison discovered that a search result from Claude matched one from Brave exactly. Willison also identified a parameter named "BraveSearchParams" within Claude's web search function.
We've contacted Anthropic for further details and will update our article upon receiving a response.
Interestingly, Brave also supports the search capabilities of another chatbot, Le Chat by Mistral. In February, Brave and Mistral announced that Le Chat would leverage Brave's search API for real-time web results.
It's worth noting that some AI firms are tight-lipped about their search index collaborations, possibly for strategic reasons. For instance, OpenAI collaborates with Bing but also taps into other undisclosed sources to enhance the search functionality in ChatGPT.

Super cool that Claude now uses Brave for searches! 🕵️♂️ Makes me wonder how much faster it’ll dig up answers compared to others. Anyone tried it yet?

Wow, Claude's new web search feature with Brave is a game-changer! It’s cool to see Anthropic stepping up to rival the big players. Wonder how Brave’s privacy focus will shape Claude’s responses compared to others? 🤔

This is cool! Claude using Brave for web searches feels like a smart move, kinda like picking a trusty sidekick for the AI adventure. Curious how it stacks up against others now! 😎

クロードの新しいウェブ検索機能は素晴らしいです！結果が正確で、使いやすいです。もう他のタブに切り替える必要がありません。もう少し速ければ完璧なんですけどね。それでも、これからが楽しみですね！🚀

클로드의 새로운 웹 검색 기능은 정말 멋져요! 채팅 안에서 미니 구글을 사용하는 것 같아요. 하지만 가끔 느리고, 좀 더 정확했으면 좋겠어요. 그래도 채팅봇에 재미있는 추가 기능이에요! 🔍

La nueva función de búsqueda web de Claude es bastante genial. Es como tener un mini Google directamente en el chat. Pero a veces es un poco lento, y desearía que fuera más preciso. Aún así, es una adición divertida al chatbot. 🔍
